also their immediate neighbours don't have gendered pronouns at all which makes negotiations between the two groups very entertaining
you get both:
"hello i go by they/them" "everybody does, fred, those are the only pronouns"
"hello i go by they/them" "fred you told me this two minutes ago it's still the only pronouns"
"hello i go by he/him" "wtf is a he/him"

@ben this is just a story of my life
....this is a villainsona thing now. mostly because "charity justice philautia" is such a great obviously-not-a-villain name and i like messing with expectations
i may substitute a different type of love but philautia sounds close enough to philia people should at least make that connection
@BestGirlGrace @violet sounds gay i approve

I know you're encouraged to be chill and patient with the constant interpersonal and structural racism you face. I know your extremely legitimate anger is policed.
I need you to know that politeness and continuous patient accommodation of people's racist feelings didn't work, I tried it for over 20 years and now there are literal nazis. Don't worry about their feelings until they worry about your life. Speak your truth when you can and protect yourself

everything i've heard on any side of this is secondhand at best tho so idrk

don't use he/him or she/her pronouns for any of us without express permission
note that if we ever make you uncomfortable in any way please tell us so we know to stop. we're not always good at figuring these things out on our own
